JOHN BAIRD, colored. who had been work
ing during the week days on Mr.. RusSells
farm, and drinking impure water out OF n
spring or seep-hole which did not overflow,
came home about two weeks ago, Sick oil ty-
phiod fever. He died last Sunday evening, an:
other victim to impure water. Let those of
our citizens who are drinking water out OF
wells which drain filthy surroundings, draw
off the gallons of poison which now makes
their wells little better than cesspools. No
matter how clear and sparkling your water,
it may contain the germs OF typhoid fever
the seeds of suffering and death.
There is no use hiding the fact. Typhoid
fever Is nothing else than n filth disease and
wherever it exists there is poison.
Mr.. FRANK CUNNINGHAM, notifies the
public where good WHISTLES can be found.
The advertisement in this paper Is for the es.
pecial benefit Of temperance people, ana pro
hibitionists whom he would serve faithfully
with honest whiskey. His advertisement is
free from the fraud and cheat usually found
fair 10 the promise but false to the perform
ance. Mr.. Cunnnghams whiskey Is good for
the sick, while those who seek to invest In
something that makes some OF MS forget that
we are poor. and makes others feel that they
are rich, can depend on the energy and active
force of his whiskey to bring about that eX.

AMONG those with whom it was our pleas
ure to meet al Due West commencement was
our honored and beloved friend, Rev. James
Boyce D. D. He was in Abbeville last week,
but we failed TO see him because Of our alb
~sence. He Is one of natures noblemen, and
IN exemplary Christian, who has now gone
fur on the outposts OF time. and stands In ad-
vance Of the great mass OF people, as the lone.
ly sentinel stands in front OF the great army.
JAMRs S. PERRIN, ESQ. went to Troy on
the train yesterday. lie had been invited 10
deliver mn address before the high school

cises last night. # Mr.. Perrin acquits him
' self as handsomely a. Troy rs he did at
Greenwood OH a similar occasion, he will add
laurels to his already victorious achievements.
THE audience at Due West Commencement
is we'll up on literary matters. One of the
orators borrowed.a dozen lines, without Civ.
ing credit fer IT. and the boys who had just
read it IN French, recognized the translation,
at once. Let orators, as we'll as editors, give
due credit. The act detracts nothing from the
merits of an effort.
